I like Melisandre a lot. Her actress is not a natural red head though so it doesn't really work in regards to the show.

Contra Calculus posted:Oh hey, wait! What do people think of Melissandre? This is important for my 'GURM-readers and HBO show-watchers hate ginger women for some reason' theory since she is literally the reddest head. She's clearly a dye job and not even a very gingery dye job. My wife had that color once and it was called redwood or maroon or something. In the last episode in the darkness of the cave it was essentially not red at all.

All the wigs on the show are so bad that nobody actually believes she is a real redhead, so they don't hate her like the trueborn gingers.

I once dyed my hair red. The bottle said "fire engine red", but it just made me look like a Weasley, with that oily pasta sauce orange tint to it.  I'm just too goddamn blond.

When Lady is killed, everybody is super bummed. But does anyone actually give a poo poo about Micah? I certainly didn't.

^ Arya's too young to know better. The Hound really is the best wish fulfillment character. He kills the redhead kid, tells Joffrey to gently caress off, and just fucks everyone up in general. He also creeps on little girls, too, for the Gurmier segment of the audience.

NPR this morning said that one of the fastest trending names for newborns is Arya. That seems extremely risky considering there are at least 2 gigantic books to go from the author of the loving pear shaped man.

My newborns are named after these books as well: Nuncle and Barristan-Myrcella. They're twins, but not of the incestuous kind. (Yet. They're only babes, so who knows what the future will bring.)

You know, if I had to name a child after any character from a fantasy novel, I think it'd be something which could pass as a normal name. Like when people name their son Samwise. "Sam" is pretty normal, no one ever has to know you're named after the fat, stupid hobbit. Even Stannis works, because it can be shortened to Stan! I would probably go with Hari, however.

Arya is actually a name people use in real life sometimes (and a pretty nice one actually) so it's not as crazy as if it was Sansa

"Aria" is fine, it's a type of music. "Arya" just says "I like Game of Thrones!" in a much less pathetic way than "Danaerys"

It's going to be funny when Arya ends up assassinating whoever ends up being the main 'heroes' of the series, dooming everyone to wintry death. I mean, what did you expect from a loving assassin? Besides, it would add some fun irony.
